No more rentals or purchases
</div>
<div class="node-body article-body">Microsoft alerted users of its deprecated Zune Marketplace that it will no longer be offering music, TV show or movie purchases (or, for movies, rentals) through the service starting as soon as next week. The change comes as the service’s Xbox-branded replacements shift from Microsoft Points to using local currency.</div>

Microsoft is suddenly moving very quickly to new technologies and leaving some users hurt and confused
</div>
<div class="node-body article-body">Users of Microsoft technologies have found themselves in unfamiliar territory over the past year as the erstwhile software giant moves surprisingly quickly to replace old technology products and services with new ones. If you are a user or fan of such things as Zune, Windows Live Messenger, or Hotmail, you know what I’m talking about. And the level of pain you’re feeling is going to vary according to how well Microsoft manages those transition, and how well you can handle change.</div>

Did Apple just remove the suck from iTunes?
</div>
<div class="node-body article-body">Apple today released iTunes 11, the latest version of its digital media jukebox. And while I’ve been critical of this application in the past—for perfectly valid reasons—it is today the only viable media player that runs on Windows and is regularly updated. And go figure, but the new version looks pretty good.</div>

This one surprises me, but there's no way to get Xbox Video content on Windows Phone 8
</div>
<div class="node-body article-body">This one falls under a category that I’ve found myself increasingly susceptible to in recent days: Because something has worked one way for so long, I assume it just keeps working that way … But it doesn’t. And that’s what happened when it comes to transferring Xbox Video-based TV show and movie content to Windows Phone 8. You can’t. </div>

<div class="node-body article-body">With its coming Xbox Music and Xbox Video services looming, Microsoft this week alerted Zune users via email about a couple of music-related features that will be dropped as that latter brand is put out to pasture. Among the walking dead are Mixview and channel playlists, Zune HD apps, and music videos.</div>

<div class="node-body article-body">If Microsoft’s Xbox 360 has an Achilles Heel, it’s that most of its amazing entertainment services also require an Xbox LIVE Gold account, an additional $60 fee each year that makes this video game console a bit less enticing as a living room set-top box. But even users of the free Xbox LIVE account can take advantage of a few useful entertainment services. And the big one is the ability to rent and buy HD movies.</div>

<div class="node-body article-body">If you’re familiar with Windows Phone and Windows 8, you know that the music apps on those platforms provide a way to “pin” favorite artists, albums, songs, and other items to the Start screen. But you may not know that the Music app on the Xbox 360 provides this same functionality. Here’s how it works.</div>

<div class="node-body article-body">While a lot of attention has been paid this week to Google’s new Nexus 7 tablet and its ostensible competition with the Amazon Kindle Fire rather than Apple’s iPad, these comparisons obscure what’s really happening here. Google’s tablet moves are really just part of a wider ecosystem strategy, one that pits Google Play against established and evolving competitors from Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft.</div>

<div class="node-body article-body">With both Windows and Windows Phone changing fairly dramatically with this year’s major updates, some users are concerned or confused about how they’ll accomplish common tasks. Key among these is PC-to-device sync: Microsoft will deliver a new sync client and new PC-free functionality with Windows Phone 8 this year, but many are wondering how they can sync their existing Windows Phone 7.x and Zune devices. </div>
